It’s a school holiday today. It’s warm and the sun is shining. It’s the perfect day for an outing. Zack, Vera, Kelly and Tim are discussing what they are going to do. Let’s listen and see what happens…
Zack: Hey you guys, it would be a shame to stay inside on a day like this. How about taking the bus to Stanley and going to the beach?
Tim: [excitedly] That sounds great.
Kelly: I'm in! But can we go to the mall first so I can get some suntan oil?
Zack: [hesitantly (犹豫地)] Well, Kelly, I suppose we've got time...
Vera: And we can stop off in Tsim Sha Tsui and get something to eat first. I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to get anything good once we get there.
Zack: I don't know, Vera — it's already eleven o'clock..
Tim: Actually, why don't we have a look at Stanley Market before we go to the beach? The bus stops right in front of the market. I want to look for some casual shirts and trousers.
Kelly: Oh, yes, Tim, let’s do that. Maybe they have some trendy swim suits, and some jewellery…
Zack: [to himself] This is really awful! [to the others] Look, I don’t want to go to a restaurant or go shopping — I just want to go to the beach on a nice day. You all said you'd go with me, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. See you later.
[sound of a door opening and closing]
Vera: Somebody's not glad!
Tim: Well, it was his idea to go out, after all.
Kelly: Oh, dear, poor Zack. I'm going to call him.
[on the telephone] Hi, Zack? Look, just wait at the bus stop for me. I'm coming now. I won’t go to the mall.
Tim: Tell him I'm coming too. We don't need to stop at the market.
Vera: [sighs (吸气)] Oh, all right. I can risk having lunch at the beach, I guess.
Kelly: [on the telephone] Zack? We're all coming now. We should all enjoy this great day together.
[to the rest] OK, let's go. We shouldn't keep Zack waiting.
Tim: [hurriedly] OK, come on, everybody… [fade]

Many children like to go hiking (徒步旅行). Why? Because they can be free from school and their homework. They can also see beautiful views (风景), play with friends or family and so on. If you want to go for a hike, how can you have a happy one?
First, the weather must be fine. Fine weather is the most important for a happy hike. If the weather is fine, you can do a lot of things, like going bike riding and swimming in the river.
Second, go with the people you like. If you go hiking with the people you don’t like, you won’t have a great time.

The exam comes in July. When the exam finishes, the summer vacation begins. Boys and girls have two months to rest. The summer vacation is the best part of the year for most children. They can swim, go to summer camp or visit other places with their parents.
